I've noticed that a lot of orthodox Marxists are also obsessed with Freud and are convinced that Freudian psychoanalysis is essential for combating fascism, and I don't understand why. Can someone explain the connection?

I am starting to read "Neurosis and civilization : a Marxist/Freudian synthesis" of Michael Schneider, but is my first book about the subject, and i am not experience in neither Freud nor Marx.

File: 1768218497393.jpeg (24.24 KB, 447x447, images.jpeg)

We may first read Lacan's assessment of Freud's project (1956):
>"Psychoanalysis should be the science of language inhabited by the subject. From the Freudian point of view man is the subject captured and tortured by language."
<Jacques Lacan, Seminar 3, Ch. 19, Sct. 3
This "torture" we can see structurally, by the separation of the signifier from the signified, and further, of the signifier's internal separation from itself, as we may read from chapter 14, from seminar 3:
<The signifier, as such, signifies nothing […] Experience proves it - the more the signifier signifies nothing, the more indestructible it is […] There's no other scientific definition of subjectivity than one that proceeds from the possibility of handling the signifier for purely signifying, not significant ends, that is, expressing no direct relation of the order of appetite […] the signifier, which is that it signifies nothing and is therefore always capable of yielding various meanings.
I take this to mean that the signifier "as such" (S) is separated by its formality from what is "signified" (s), and so, the appeal to the signifier (S) is an end in-itself, not a means to an end. An example is in religion, where the signifier "God" only refers to itself, and so is internally contentless. as an example, we may read hegel (1816):
<This proposition in its positive expression A = A is, in the first instance, nothing more than the expression of an empty tautology. It has therefore been rightly remarked that this law of thought has no content and leads no further.
https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/hegel/works/hl/hl409.htm
Thus, the signifier cannot signify anything other than itself (A is A), yet the internal content of A is also empty, so A is not-A. Hegel works this out by applying negativity to give identity totality, but Lacan resists totality, speaking of "set" (Ch. 14, Sct. 1):
<I said a set, I didn't say a totality. As a matter of fact, the notion of structure is analytic […] I think that you're well enough oriented to understand that the notion of structure is by itself already a manifestation of the signifier.

We can also compare Marx's structuralism against Baudrillard's poststructuralism, by looking at simulacrum. Marx insists upon a real relation in symbols:
<The fact that money can, in certain functions, be replaced by mere symbols of itself, gave rise to that other mistaken notion, that it is itself a mere symbol […] Lawyers started long before economists the idea that money is a mere symbol, and that the value of the precious metals is purely imaginary. This they did in the sycophantic service of the crowned heads, supporting the right of the latter to debase the coinage, during the whole of the middle ages, by the traditions of the Roman Empire and the conceptions of money to be found in the Pandects.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch02.htm
<the issue of paper money must not exceed in amount the gold (or silver as the case may be) which would actually circulate if not replaced by symbols […] Paper money is a token representing gold or money. The relation between it and the values of commodities is this, that the latter are ideally expressed in the same quantities of gold that are symbolically represented by the paper. Only in so far as paper money represents gold, which like all other commodities has value, is it a symbol of value.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch03.htm
Thus, money can only be "real" if it directly represents a proportion of gold or silver, to Marx. This distinction is older than Marx, however, such as in the work of Adam Smith (1776), who distinguishes between the "real" and "nominal" values of currency based in their relationship to exchange. For example, a currency which is depreciated by excess, loses its real value, while preserving its nominal (or "face" value). £1 is still £1, but may purchase less per unit. The £1 is constant, while its purchasing power is variable. This variability is the measure of its "real" value, since it represents what it can really exchange for, not what it denominates. For example, being a millionaire in America makes one really rich, while being a millionaire in Zimbabwe makes one poor. Equally, being a millionaire yesterday meant more than being a mPost too long.

O bebezinho, que já nasceu falando e ameaçou sua mãe de morte, tem o corpo totalmente cheio de pelos, dois chifres pontiagudos e um rabo de aproximadamente cinco centímetros, além do olhar feroz, que causa medo e arrepios."

Isto não vai acontecer. Todo mundo do fio está careca de saber que este é o propósito da direita contemporânea. A questão é, qual é o do campo democrático-popular? Não faz sentido o governo querer tratar do viralatismo cultural (um sintoma) enquanto leiloa praias e parques nacionais, limita investimentos através de um teto de gastos, sanciona o corte de verbas das universidades federais e segue no geral sem um plano de desenvolvimento nacional (a doença de fato).

Alright OP here. I forgot to say it but besides the dream and the pic, please state a query! such as "what do I do about [insert problem]?" or stuff like that. So it'd be

>>465
Alright, first let me tell you the type of reading I'm doing. One card represents your general situation, the next 3 represent potential "paths to victory" and the last one represents something to avoid.
>general situation
Picked The World, a very powerful card. Represents endings, success and opposite things finally becoming whole in a way that enriches both. So you're likely surfing the wave of some sort of fulfilling event, be it on an external or internal level. Something has successfully been manifested.

The "path to success" cards are page of cups reversed, 9 of wands and the high priestess reversed. This suggests that you likely need to get in touch with a neglected inner world and let yourself be vulnerable. Maybe you have some "ignored inner child" stuff going on too and could be good to revisit that sort of thing (actually kinda related to the newgrounds bit. Maybe there's a side of you that you repress or ignore out of fear of what others would say or think). 9 of wands suggests that you've been through a lot of hard work of hardship and are tired, but it also encourages you to keep on trucking. You need to be courageous and resilient and things will pay off. It also suggests you're also on the verge of getting something that you want (so you're kinda surfing a wave of fulfillment already and there's a nice chance you'll get to surf another such wave nearly right away, kino)

If you want you can just go with the query, but I feel I do better if there's a dream and a pic.
Also the dream doesn't have to be recent, it can be a dream you had when you were a kid or years ago for example. And it doesn't have to be a dream you fully remember either, a snippet (or a bunch of them if you want)will do.
And thanks! ;w,

Ele acredita que o material genético da população brasileria é a causa dos nossos problemas, que tudo deu errado porque o Brasil é uma colonia europeia tabajara, e que na verdade cristãos novos/cripto-judeus que mandam no país desde as capitanias hereditárias, e que por isso o país tá num eterno atraso.

I had the chillest job till about 3 month ago. I work for a printer company, contracted by a small community had about 500 printers scattered over several schools, libraries, and other municipal buildings.

I didn't really do anything. Someone said they needed ink? I sent them ink. Someone said they have an issue with the printer? I sent an engineer. Took about 3 days to figure out nobody was keeping track of where I was, so just started working from home. Did that for about 3 years, had a night shift job on the side for a few months. Recently they changed up some stuff so I work with someone rather than solo, so it's not as good, but still better than any job I've had before. Pay is shit though, but I can't complain since they pay me full-time wages for doing about an hour of work a day.

Does anybody else not understand why they find guys attractive? I recently came across a video that said "straight men just dont understand what women and gay men find attractive in males" and it made me realize that I couldnt even identify what it is about men that im even attracted too.

I definitley know when i find another guy attractive, but I usually couldnt explain why. My tastes in men arent even very coherent, I like feminine men, but I also like buff hairy dudes, and I also like incels. My attraction to men makes no logical sense

I too like death in June. This whole neo-Volk/ martial industrial thing is a part of nazi aesthetics that kind of appeals to me. It sounds like the echos in the ruins of a long lost empire. Just hope it never returns ^^

>>16550
I don't know enough about him to know if this is right (mostly because I find neofolk outside of Di6/C93 to be quite boring) but didn't he go through the anarchist to fascist meme but for real?

I feel the same way about Death in June, at least before he started making the same album but crappier and more derivative each time. When I listen it almost makes me forget how rightoids actually are and the end result of their beliefs because sort of like you said his albums capture that yearning for a lost age and way of life well. I remember during the first months of COVID which was my last year of high school when we locked down I would just sit in my room listening to But, What Ends? and dooming. It really fit things at the time

That makes sense. What a fucking weak willed anarchist. Making minimum four albums about antifascist resistance just to turn into a fascist himself.

>>25626
It raises questions about how we'd be able to tell if a species had been domesticated and later feralized, or whether we would think to look for that. If you look at the wild types of many cultivars, there is not much to suggest they would be serviceable once domesticated.

Anyone able bodied can be drafted, and countries that handicap themselves with such frivolous rules about who can't be drafted aren't planning to draft anyway, or don't take the conflict seriously. It's a taunt.
Though I do like the idea of being ineligible, I'll just dodge regardless, so I'm hoping the pressure remains that they don't have the choice not to.

it not a question of choice; if capitalism demanded that women and children participate in manufacturing and factory work, then it will also happily consume the lives of women and children in war if the need is there.

>>6064
I mean, look at Ukraine. They had a gender mixed army for a decade, talks about equality and how everyone is on the same boat.
And what do the women who were making a career in the army did? One week after the invasion, all of them were refugees in the EU. And I give them one year after the end of the war for the equality speeches to start again.

>>6063
They should be. Though in my vision in a communist state army service should not focus on endless physical training but learning how to operate equipment & utilizing inter-branch coordination in drill exercises.

Military service should be mandatory, but it should last like 1-2 months and it should be more focussed on ideological propaganda and learning how to operate and use an equipment in the battlefield. It's like a summer school!!!

>>6065
i think i saw polls indicating that women were more likely to support war than males in ukraine, and this was even more if they were overseas.

The only way to break a 90 degree ambush is the afix your bayonet and rush the enemy.

I remember reading All Quiet On The Western Front and the author mentioned something about how bayonets are not a great weapon because they tend to get lodged in the enemy's torso and that WW1 soldiers preferred to use a shovel for hand-to-hand combat.

A Roman version could theoretically use:

>Leyden-jar–like capacitors (glass + metal foil)
>Repeated sparks → radio emission

>>32180
Short answer: in principle, yes — but only barely, and not in a “walkie-talkie” sense.
Long answer: it would be a steam-powered spark telegraph with a crystal receiver, not voice radio, and the hard limits are materials science and theory, not imagination.

Let’s break it down cleanly.

finally i realized the real nature of the so called "decentralized" fediverse. it is a total scam!

>>32178
The Pseudo-Decentralization of Mastodon – Just Another Illusion

Mastodon and the broader Fediverse are frequently sold as the holy grail of “real” decentralization – in contrast to evil centralized platforms. In reality, this is mostly marketing.The largest instances (mastodon.social, mastodon.online, mas.to) are all controlled by the same legal entity: the Mastodon gGmbH / corporation, led by Eugen Rochko. Two or three of the biggest nodes = one single boss. That’s not decentralization; that’s just a slightly distributed company structure.Sure, right-wing instances like Truth Social exist (or Gab, or others). But they rarely federate meaningfully with the big leftist-leaning main instances. In practice you get two (or three) almost completely separate, ideologically closed networks that only talk to their political allies. That’s not open federation – that’s allied dictatorships communicating with each other.At the end of the day every single instance is still a miniature centralized dictatorship with an owner who can ban, defederate, censor, or simply shut down the server whenever they feel like it. Mastodon.social, Truth Social, Reddit, X – structurally they are the same thing: one admin, one set of rules, one kill switch.The Fediverse is “decentralized” in exactly the same sense that Reddit, X and 4chan are decentralized: you can choose which dictator you want to live under. That’s the whole difference.

I've only seen the anime and not the manga so I can't say if this changes in the manga but the demons are different from a lot evil races I have seen in fantasy. I think the most obvious comparison would be to Tolkien's orcs. Orcs are a cruel, savage race full of hatred of all others including there own kind, they only stop killing each other when facing down a foe they hate even more. Now let's compare that with demon society in Frieren, the thing that keeps demon in order with each other is there mana level, when one demon meets another they instantly know who is the more powerful one and which is the weaker one and thus interaction will happen with both parties knowing where they stand with out the need of bloodshed. And this causes demon society to be hierarchy with the demons with the strongest mana to be on top, this is why someone suppressing there mana would unthinkable to them. Orcs have something similar but they only know who is the strongest through bloodshed.

Now with Orcs there is the question of their humanity. In the books they are mostly treated as fodder for the heros to kill through, but Tolkien gave them some humanity. First with their creation story that they were once elves then later men taken and twisted by Morgoth into these hate filled things. And yet they still have a sense of good and bad, when Gorbag in the Two Towers comments that abandoning a comrade to be an elvish trick, ie something bad. Even Tolkien says they were rational creatures, even if they were heavily corrupted. This caused a serious dilemma for Tolkien because if they were to be treated as fodder and slaughtered with out mercy you would be just as bad the orcs you oppose. And on the other hand if they are rational beings at heart, just heavily corrupted, that leaves the door open for mercy and even redemption.

Now with Frieren the demons are shown to have no emotion and half no understanding of human concepts of right and wrong. With the main character Frieren exposing to show them no mercy and calling for their extermination. They presented as animals with mouths. And yet the story shows there is more to these creatures than under first inspection. Like when Lügner calls Fern's mana suppression a crime against magic, or Aura showing joy and later fear, and the demon child killing the mayor leaving his kid orphaned because a couple in the town lPost too long.

>fear
they show fear to create empathy onto their human ennemy
also they don't have a society,most demons basically never interact with one another unless they need more muscle,they litterally abandon their children at birth,there are no records of romantic coupling
the demon king army was as cohesive as the average skaven army,if they could flee they ran away,if they can kill another demon to claim their victories,they do.
this doesn't even end up sprouting a nonsensical society like the exemple I'm comparing them to,since there is no longer the demon king to rally a semblance of them,it ended up creating a powe vacuum so big they basically returned to the wild and no real leader rose up.
the only connection we know is that despite being monsters,and thus made of mana and just disappearing when dead,they apparently have a soul,but if someone has any idea what that imply I would like to know.
Also they more or less don't interact with each other rather than hurt each other,but we do have an example of one demon betraying another and backstabbing them
and what I say goes to the chapter 122 something so huuuuuuh

Why do doctors prescribe too low dosages of hormones for trans women (and I'm pretty sure also trans men)? Like they are prescribing women and girls I know like a quarter of what my mum has for menopause in gel. Oral is just such a bad method though.


Are the doctors uneducated, stupid, or is it malicious? I don't get it at all. Do they want people to not transition?

At least in the NHS I would think it would make more logistical sense for them to just prescribe oestrogen injections for monotherapy since they already buy plenty of needles and it means they don't have to buy anti-androgens which would streamline the supply chain.

Flood dected; post discarded :3

>Are the doctors uneducated, stupid, or is it malicious? I don't get it at all. Do they want people to not transition?
all of the above, they probably see transness as some sorta of hormone imbalance or mental illness, so the right amount of estrogen would be enough to cure it/make you able to function as a normal man

the reason, particularly in britain, is a culture of absolutely wanting to avoid responsibility and minimize risk at all costs, combined with aggressive short termism.
estrogen will increase your risk of blood clots (to the female level), nobody wants to be responsible for you having a blood clot, a blood clot is a specific and unambiguous risk (unlike osteoporosis or depression or failed transition) so they act to avoid that instead of to help you.
this is also one of the reasons they don't let you do injections: because if needles wind up being redirected from health use to drug use, someone might get in trouble. plus, you might hurt yourself if a responsible, credentialed authority figure carefully protected by mountains of paperwork doesn't do it for you, and if you manage to hurt yourself someone will have to get in trouble…

doctors are usually ignorant, sometimes so self-preserving as to be malicious, but mostly it's an institutional and cultural problem of the UK as a whole. there is a persistent cultural need to have someone's permission to do something and a persistent cultural fear that if something goes wrong it will all be your fault unless you can point out the specific documents that make it someone else's fault instead. moreover, as we're not really an individualist society, "just let people take risks for themselves and let them suffer the consequences" isn't an option. we can't have people living for themselves, not in britain.

this runs adjacent to the sort of right-wing "oh muh 'elf n safety" whining, but you must understand that as half bullshit lies to get people angry, and half a sort of pressure release valve where, because this is a persistent cultural problem, you need to inoculate the population with a sort of shikata ga nai attitude. a ragebait article about how annoying it was that a supervisor at a construction site made everyone wear hard hats. the figure of the jobsworth.
a competent doctor may think to himself, illustratively, it's more than my job's worth… as he underdoses you, because it helps resolve the contradiction between knowing he's doing something wrong but also knowing that to do otherwise is to put himself in the firing line, so he's just got to follow procedure… but most likely the doctor isn't competent and is busy. the NHS is a whole other shitshow. great at acute care, ration everything else to the bone.
